I’ve reverted to this beach because the other one was too tropical… maybe I’ll recycle the other one somewhere…
Good, now change the shape of the mountain to reflect this.

wh–what the heck is that? 
Just something I’ve seen almost every day for 25 years 
It’s called “the Devil’s Saddle”
la Sella del Diavolo in Italian, the hill that borders Cagliari’s gulf.
oh. Nice, nice 
No, Cagliari. It’s in Italy, not France.

BTW, this is exactly the kind of music I would have in my game if my game had music
trying to find a uniform style for the portraits…

this is the 11-th attempt to characterize “the mom”, following the above style:

I’m not convinced… too attractive and not comical enough. The in-room portrait nails the character better, is more comical. But it is too low-res: (or maybe it isn’t?)

They are too different, and there will be problems when switching from room to dialog.
How to make them more similar? I could also change the in-room portrait like this:

but this way I would be dropping the better one…
I tried to do the converse: make the portrait more comical:

… but now she looks evil
.
I think it’s funnier if the mom looks kind, not sadistic.
So I’m uncertain what portrait to use for the mom. Maybe I should drop this model completely and use the first one? i.e. this one?

Hmm, I did demos that are kind of in this style, just faster because I was thinking more of a arcade game. You can have them if you want.
Wow, thanks man
The second one is too electronic, but I might find a place for the first one 
Glad to help.
It’s… disquieting!!
Possible new design for pirate Gaetano O’ Connor…

Nah he’s resembling Santa Claus too much 

Oh. He died two months ago
why nobody told me?
It does seem somewhat familiar but no name comes to mind.
